May has been a rather busy month for us, the good thing is that the rugby season has finished now so for a little while we have gained our Sunday's back. There I was wondering what we should do this Sunday when I realised that we will be joining in with the village Jubilee celebrations.

I saw a similar photo to this last year around fathers day (I think) and kept it in mind. I'm sorry but I can't recall the source. I have a funny feeling though that it might be someones blog header and I do remember that she had four children so her feet said We *heart* Daddy. If you are stuck for something personal for fathers day then this is a good idea.....I'll be Moonpigging this photo.

Karen will be a little late blogging her feet, I'm sure when she does she will link to all the other feet photographed too.

Enjoy your week ahead and before I go.....

thank you to the word commenters on my last post. I have a new set of words for the next batch of cards I make.

Great......this
one doesn't take too much thinking for me. Boys, boys and more boys in
our family....I do feel for my niece though, who has to put up with them all!

However I chose to scrap a subject I've been meaning to for a while now. Boys and their Toys.

It doesn't seem that long ago that if we wanted to find something
out we had to make a trip to the library. These days the answer can be
found pretty much instantly. On a day out (Kite Flying) something
cropped up (for the life of me I can't remember what it was!) so when we
sat down to eat our picnic out came the phone and hey presto we had the
answer.

When I linked to Julie for my April month in numbers I noticed that she'd previously posted a sketch.

Ummm I liked this one and it was perfect for the photo that had made its way to the top of my scrap pile. It's funny how sometimes it just all comes together.........other times it takes absolutely ages!
Maybe that's just me!

Mum and Dad came for tea and brought doughnuts with them Custard ones and Jam ones.

After tea Dad offers *his* doughnuts and said to the boys,

"Can YOU eat a doughnut WITHOUT licking your lips"

(I have to smile because I don't think my dad can eat a doughnut without saying that.)

And so it begins.........

(apologises for the out of focus photo)

There was many a time when we would all (mum dad sisters and brother) sit around the table *trying* to eat a doughnut without licking our lips. Watching each other intently, laughing, accusing....it is almost impossible.

Dad always reckoned he won.

(it's ok he doesn't read my blog!)

Clearly he struggled too.

So my question to you is......

Can you eat a doughnut without licking your lips?

Thank you for stopping by, if you pop across to Sian there will be plenty more stories to read.

Many of you many know that when I moved from London in favour of country life I started up a regular crop evening and a couple of times a year I organise an all day crop too.

The day is really informal, the girls are lovely and I thought it might be nice to see if there are any local ladies out there who might be interested in coming along for the day.

Photos from the last all day crop are here if you would like to check it out.

Gosh it feels like a really long week, I'm so glad my working week is now over. A long bank holiday weekend ahead and hoping to find time to cut and stick a little. It doesn't feel right leaving without a photo so here are two cards I made for a birthday this week.
